What’s the difference between “Account Mastery” and “Set Mastery”?

Set Mastery is a system specific to each new Standard set on Magic: The Gathering Arena. Players earn XP through play, and as they level up will receive rewards based on their current level.

This systemw as replaced in March 2020 with Color Challenges.

Does the Mastery System cost anything?

Your Set Mastery level and rewards will reset with the release of every new Standard set on MTG Arena.

SET MASTERY

How long is each Set Mastery available?

Set Masteries are available for the most recent Standard set, starting on the day the set is released and ending when the next set is released.

How do I earn rewards?

By play! Every time you complete a quest, or earn one of your weekly wins in a support format (up to 15 each week), you’ll receive experience points towards your current Mastery level. Additional XP may be available through special events or promotional items (such as codes). As you level up, you’ll receive rewards based on your current level.

What rewards can I earn?
